let there be light
This weekend was an early start in the back fields where I live. Wanting to try out a new wide angle lens bought for doing some night photography. It started out dark and at 6am, I was taking shots of the city lights and the mist. By 7am I was stood in the middle of... Continue Reading →
We've had our at about 15 years and she has been a pleasure and a pain. Just like any child would be. I remember picking her up from a rescue centre all those years ago. Love her to bits though. ©Lucas Thompson-Murphy
Having a bank holiday weekend means an extra day to do nothing. Monday is a free day. After four hours sleep I have managed to edit some photos from last night. To be honest I was trying to get a good shot of the Milky way but couldn't get one so ventured out to the... Continue Reading →
Well today started at 6am as any other workday, but the business was to drive my wife to work and then walk out on the farm trails to capture anything interesting. I'm quite lucky where I live is on the outskirts of a major city on a hill. I set off by 7am and walked... Continue Reading →
I take a lot of photos of graveyards and places of worship. Sometimes I may even seem a little irreverent to it, but it's really not so. I've seen many and read all the gravestone inscriptions and walk carefully with respect for the place I enter. Having said that, I have no time for doctrine... Continue Reading →

This is a shot of the city of Leeds, taken a few years ago on my old Nikon 3100. I can remember what lense I would have used or what settings other than manual and a tripod. I'm always suspicious of people that remember that stuff. Anyway, bought it in a second hand shop and... Continue Reading →
I'm not much of an event photographer, as the shots I take are high colour or monochrome. Wedding photography would be a nightmare for me. I found it strange having the interaction before shooting. It's not a knew thing and I'm not shy in any way at all. But it's not my comfort zone being... Continue Reading →
So I've been up since 3pm and out the door taking shots over the back field. I was waiting for the sunrise but the clouds and rain got in the way eventually. Retreating to the cover of the woods I started again. Taken from Morley, Leeds. ©Lucas Thompson-Murphy
